Summer Outside!
I’m just back from Chincoteague where I checked out the birds, the ponies, and the intercoastal waterway on a pontoon boat! In this photo, I’m slogging through a marsh stream which was in low tide. As amazing as it seemed, two welks were found trying to dig into the mud so gulls would not get through their shells and end up as dinner. Along with the welks, fiddler crabs, a variety of clams, and many jellies were found in this stream. In our biology unit, we discuss these life varieties. If any one has pictures or samples, feel free to share!
Does anybody have any pictures of the great outdoors that you can post for us in this blog? Feel free to do so!
THE MUST SEE GUY IN CHINCOTEAGUE!! is definitely Captain Barry! Captain Barry will pilot a pontoon boat FOR YOU so you can just enjoy the nature! He knows where to go to see the most wildlife and get you right in the middle of it. If you see him from a distance over the water, you’ll think you’re seeing people walking on water!
CLAMMING THE CAPTAIN BARRY WAY…means stopping at what seems to be the middle of the water in the Intercoastal Waterway which in some places is very shallow, getting off the boat, and WALKING! We dug our feet into the mud to find clams which feel like rocks. Captain Barry then shucked a clam for me and I got to eat it RAW right there!! Super cool!
